Would somebody kindly point me to the correct toe-in angle for my 2003 325i (E46 SAL). I replaced the lower control arms, struts and tie rod ends as well as reset the camber a little less positive than factory*.
I'd like to find the correct toe-in angle** for this vehicle. I've seen both 0° (neutral) and +3° ... and I don't know if either are correct and TIS seems to be of no help.
Thanks - I know someone out there knows.
* Uneven tire wear - inside wear greatest.
** I know about ride height, camber, caster and correct tire pressure. Everything is set except toe-in.

As far as street driving is concerned, 0° to slightly negative(-)Toe in, never positive(+)Toe out,
according to any factory specs I've ever seen.
I found this. Has lots of alignment specs:

Uneven wear inside has almost nothing to do with camber on a factory car, it's 99% because you were having toe out problems in the front.
With factory rubber bushings, run a slight toe-in (some 0.02-0.05deg) so that bushing compliance from rolling resistance and having passengers will bring your "effective" toe near 0 once on the road.
